“1. Choose a Brush from our Lighting Effects Brush Pack” OK !
“2. Create a New Layer and select a very vibrant color.” OK !
“3. Click once to lay down the pixels of the lighting effect brush.” This step I don’t understand at all. Could you please explain it in more detailed words … sorry, I’m feeling like I’m a newbie but I’m not !
“3. Duplicate the layer and add a Color Overlay of White.” Do you mean that I have to fill the duplicated layer with white color … ?

Sorry for these kind of stupid questions and … thank you in advance for your kind answer.
